After a very, very long wait, BBC America has released the first teaser for the new season of Doctor Who, which will star Jodie Whittaker as the time-traveling alien.

The 40-second teaser, which debuted during the finals of the World Cup and comes ahead of the sci-fi show's appearance at San Diego Comic-Con later this week, offers a brief glimpse of Whittaker's Time Lord, the first female Doctor in the show's 50-plus-year history. Also glimpsed in the teaser are the Doctor's newest companions: Graham (Bradley Walsh), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Yasmin (Mandip Gill).

Whittaker takes over the role of the Doctor from Peter Capaldi, who signed off as the Twelfth Doctor in 2017. Her casting announcement was met with some alarming social media reactions, but the network has shrugged off the trolls, and the actress received word that her pay will be on par with her male predecessors.
